History of the Rhode Island Parent Information Network: Ten Years of Progress - A group of parents and professionals began meeting to plan how they could develop a Parent Training and Information Center (PTIC) in Rhode Island. Funding for the PTIC was made available in 1983 under public law 98-1999 of the Education for All Handicapped Children's Act. - RIPIN incorporated and received its first three-year contract from the U.S. Department of Education. One full-time and three part-time staff were hired to begin the work. - RIPIN began providing training, information and advocacy support to families of children with disabilities. Relationship building with state departments, schools and community-based agencies was a major focus of this work. Funding was secured from the RI Department of Education and the University Affiliated Program for continuation of programs. During this time RIPIN developed the Volunteer Parent Facilitator project, which trained 25 volunteer parents to assist other parents in navigating the special education system for their children. Parent/Professional Training Teams were also developed to assist RIPIN staff in providing workshops for families and professionals. - RIPIN was awarded a 5-year grant from the US Department of Education reestablishing RIPIN as the Parent Training and Information Center in Rhode Island.
